Tax Lawyer's Blog

Here’s a little list I put together to remind you of what needs to be done today:

1. Make sure you understand every entry on your return before you sign it;
2. Sign your return (both spouses must sign a joint return);
3. Make sure your preparer has signed your return and your copy of the return;
4. Retain the signed copy of your return for seven years;
5. Electronically file your return or mail it, certified mail, return receipt requested;
6. Retain proof of mailing;
7. Write your social security number and the tax year and tax form number on any check you include with the return;
8. Take Joe Kristan’s advice and file an extension if you are unsure of the accuracy of the return.
9. If you are self-employed, make sure you know what your estimated tax payments are for 2010.

Happy April 15th!
